And we also forgot to put up the month's reading list on March 31st! We wrote it the day before and never published it. We apologize for the confusion, and we'll be back on schedule as of now. Share what you've been reading in the comments!
Katie:
- Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
- A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle
- Knife by RJ Anderson
- The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
- The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle
- Rebel by RJ Anderson
I'm now reading Arrow by RJ Anderson, the last book in the trilogy. I've enjoyed that series so far, and I also enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes books I read. Cat's Cradle was interesting, but I didn't love it. The Bluest Eye is incredibly disturbing and depressing, so I don't particularly recommend that book either, especially not for younger readers.
Sarah:
- Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
- Rumors by Neil Simon (Okay, it's technically a play, not a book. But I'm saying it counts.)
- Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan
Currently, I am reading The Doldrums by Nicholas Gannon.
Things Fall Apart is a perfectly good, well-written book, but just know that it is not an uplifting read. At all. But that's probably obvious from the title. Rumors is a hilarious play, but I feel the need to give the disclaimer that there is a lot of swearing in it. Echo is another wonderful children's book. If you enjoy that sort of thing, I would recommend checking it out.
